<p>Description</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The configuration of \{product---name} is the data set that determines
how it operates. Parts of this configuration determine the operation of
specific parts of \{product---name}, such as the following:</p>
</div>
<div class="ulist">
<ul>
<li>
<p>Services, such as the transaction service</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Resources, such as databases</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Deployed applications or modules, such as web applications</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Clusters and server instances</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The term configuration is also used to describe a part of the overall
configuration, such as the transaction service configuration or the
configuration of a database. In clustered environments, clusters or
server instances can share configurations.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Examples of configuration data are port numbers, flags that enable or
disable processes, application names, and so on. Most of these data
points are name/value pairs, either hard-coded attributes or more
flexibly defined properties.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The hierarchical structure of the configuration is explained in the
dotted names page. You can view and change most of the \{product---name}
configuration using either the Administration Console or the <code>asadmin</code>
utility and its subcommands. To list the structure of all or part of the
configuration, use the <code>list</code> subcommand. To view the value of one or
more attributes or properties, use the <code>get</code> subcommand. To change the
value of an attribute or property, use the <code>set</code> subcommand.</p>
